[0033] Currently, ear massage and stimulation services are performed manually, such as those for ear cleaning. These services are subject to non-standard and inconsistent techniques, resulting in a mixed user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new ear stimulation technology solution that can meet user needs, standardize and normalize the stimulation action, and ensure the quality of the stimulation experience.

[0034] In view of this, the present invention proposes an ear device, referring to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the ear device includes:

[0035] The housing 10 includes an ear-hanging bracket 130 and an ear-entry portion 140 connected thereto. The ear-hanging bracket 130 is configured to be worn on the auricle of a user, and the ear-entry portion 140 is disposed toward the external auditory canal of the user.

[0036] A drive assembly 20 mounted on the housing 10; and

[0037] The ear canal action member 30 is located in the ear inlet portion 140 and is drivingly connected to the driving assembly 20. The ear canal action member 30 is used to extend into the user's external auditory canal and act on the external auditory canal.

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention first extends the ear canal actuator 30 into the external auditory canal, and then automatically generates a stimulation action on the external auditory canal and / or the vagus nerve on the external auditory canal through the driving component 20, which allows the user to simply and conveniently enjoy the effect of physical and mental relaxation and fatigue relief. Since the ear device is uniformly produced and manufactured by an industrial production line, the stimulation method of the device can be standardized and normalized, that is, the quality of the stimulation action is uniformly controlled at the source, thereby ensuring the experience quality of the stimulation action. Secondly, the ear device can be convenient for users to wear through the ear-hanging bracket, and in order to allow users to wear it for a long time without obvious discomfort, the ear device is only provided with an ear-hanging bracket 130 and an ear-entry part 140, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the ear device, and making the ear device more delicate and compact, thereby facilitating storage and carrying, and improving the convenience and flexibility of use of the ear device.

[0039] Specifically, the driving component 20 and the ear canal actuator 30 can jointly achieve a variety of ways to stimulate the external auditory canal, including but not limited to stroking stimulation, microcurrent stimulation, light touch stimulation, blowing stimulation, vibration stimulation and heating stimulation.

[0040] Specifically, in the stroking stimulation mode, the ear canal actuator 30 has a hair-like portion, and the driving component 20 is configured as a motor, which drives the hair-like portion to rotate in the external auditory canal and contact the epidermis of the external auditory canal; or the driving component 20 is configured as a linear motor, which drives the hair-like portion to move forward and backward relative to the external auditory canal in the external auditory canal, and contact and stroke the epidermis of the external auditory canal; thereby stimulating the external auditory canal and / or the vagus nerve. Specifically, the hair-like portion can be configured as natural fiber, chemical fiber, or elastic material, that is, a hair-like monomer is prepared using raw materials such as natural fiber, chemical fiber, or elastic material, and multiple hair-like monomers can be combined into bundles or balls as needed to form a structure similar to a feather, a silicone soft brush, a brush, or a cotton swab; of course, only one hair-like monomer, such as a horsetail hair, can be used directly as the hair-like portion. It should be noted that natural fibers include plant fibers and animal fibers. Plant fibers include cotton, hemp, and flax. Animal fibers include animal hair such as horsetail hair, pig hair, goat hair, or feathers. Chemical fibers include man-made fibers and synthetic fibers. Man-made fibers include rayon, viscose, acetate, and cuprammonium fibers, while synthetic fibers include polyester, nylon, and acrylic. Elastic materials include silicone, rubber, and elastic PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Because natural fibers, chemical fibers, or elastic materials are easily available or prepared, and the related industrial production technology is mature, the manufacturing cost of the hair-like portion can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the hair-like portion made from these natural or chemical fibers can be made into a hair-like shape and be fine and soft, thereby providing a good stroking stimulation effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the hair-like portion can also be configured with other materials that can be made into a soft, hairy shape, or materials that can be made into a flexible or elastic body, such as foam sponge.

[0041] Specifically, in the microcurrent stimulation method, the driving component 20 is configured as a power supply and controller capable of generating a microcurrent (e.g., a low-level current in medical applications, ranging from 50 microamperes to 1000 microamperes). The ear canal effector 30 is configured as a conductor (e.g., an electrode pad) electrically connected to the controller. The conductor contacts the external auditory canal and releases a microcurrent, thereby stimulating the external auditory canal and / or the vagus nerve. Since the relevant technology of microcurrent instruments on the market is relatively mature, it will not be elaborated here.

[0042] Specifically, in the light touch stimulation mode, the drive assembly 20 may include a motor, an eccentric cam drivingly connected to the motor, and a lever rotatably connected to the motor, and the ear canal actuator 30 may be configured to drive a light touch massage head connected to the linear motor, one end of the lever rollingly abuts against the periphery of the eccentric cam, and the other end is connected to the light touch massage head. That is, by utilizing the principle of leverage, the light touch massage head produces a movement of approaching or moving away from an epidermal area on the external auditory canal, and touches the epidermal area when in the close position, thereby achieving a stimulation mode of regularly lightly touching the external auditory canal. Of course, the drive assembly 20 may also include a linear motor and a controller electrically connected to the linear motor, and the ear canal actuator 30 may be configured to drive a light touch massage head connected to the linear motor, the controller is used to send a pulse signal to control the regular operation of the linear motor, and the linear motor is used to drive the light touch massage head to perform translational motion. In this way, the pulse signal is used to make the light touch massage head move regularly, and produce a movement of approaching or moving away from an epidermal area on the external auditory canal. For example, one cycle is every four seconds, and when it is in the close position, it touches the epidermal area, thereby achieving a regular stimulation method of lightly touching the external auditory canal.

[0043] Specifically, in the blowing stimulation mode, the driving component 20 is configured as a motor and a wind wheel driven by the motor, and the ear canal acting part 30 is configured as an air guide body with an air guide cavity therein. The air guide body extends into the external auditory canal and transports airflow, and the airflow blows toward the epidermis of the external auditory canal, thereby achieving stimulation of the external auditory canal and / or the vagus nerve.

[0044] Specifically, in the vibration stimulation mode, the driving component 20 may be configured as a vibration motor (rotor motor or linear motor), and the ear canal actuator 30 may be configured as a vibrating body connected to the vibration motor, the vibrating body extending into the external auditory canal, abutting and transmitting vibration to the epidermis of the external auditory canal, thereby stimulating the external auditory canal and / or the vagus nerve. Of course, the driving component 20 may also include a motor, a controller electrically connected to the motor, and a pendulum driving the motor, the ear canal actuator 30 may be configured as a tuning fork, the controller is used to send a pulse signal to control the regular operation of the motor, the motor is used to drive the pendulum to strike the tuning fork, and the tuning fork vibrates (vibrates) after being struck and contacts the external auditory canal, thereby stimulating the external auditory canal and / or the vagus nerve.

[0045] Specifically, in the heating stimulation mode, the driving component 20 is configured as an electric heater, and the ear canal acting member 30 is configured as a heat conductor, which extends into the external auditory canal, abuts and transfers trace heat energy (heat energy to avoid burns) to the epidermis of the external auditory canal; or the driving component 20 includes a power supply and a controller electrically connected to the power supply, and the ear canal acting member 30 is configured as an electric heater electrically connected to the power supply; or, the driving component 20 is configured as a power supply, a motor electrically connected to the power supply, a wind wheel driven by the motor, and an electric heater provided at the air inlet or outlet of the wind wheel, the electric heater is electrically connected to the power supply and used to heat the airflow generated by the wind wheel, and the ear canal acting member 30 is configured as an air guide body with an air guide cavity therein, the air guide body extends into the external auditory canal and transports airflow, and the airflow blows toward the epidermis of the external auditory canal, thereby stimulating the external auditory canal and / or the vagus nerve.

[0046] Of course, in addition to being performed independently, each of the above-mentioned stimulation methods can also be combined with each other. For example, stroking stimulation, blowing stimulation and heating stimulation can be combined, or stroking stimulation and microcurrent stimulation can be combined, or microcurrent stimulation, heating stimulation and vibration stimulation can be combined, etc.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the ear hook bracket 130 includes a main body 131 and a clamping arm 132 that are arranged opposite to each other, and a transition portion 133 connected between the main body 131 and the clamping arm 132. The clamping arm 132 and the main body 131 are separated to form a clamping space 130a, and the clamping space 130a is used to fit the auricle. Specifically, the user only needs to align the clamping space 130a with his or her auricle and then insert the auricle into the clamping space 130a to wear the ear device. This ear hook bracket 130 is not only simple and compact in structure, but also convenient for the user to wear and remove. Of course, in other embodiments, the ear hook bracket 130 can also include a main body 131 and a clamping arm 132 rotatably connected to the main body 131, a reference straight line is set to intersect with the rotation axis of the clamping arm 132, and the clamping arm 132 extends circumferentially along the reference straight line.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In one embodiment, the ear device further includes a first control key 97 electrically connected to the drive assembly 20. The first control key 97 is located on a side of the main body 131 facing away from the clamping arm 132. Specifically, the first control key 97 can be a physical key or a touch key, or a function key integrated into a touchscreen display. The first control key 97 can be used to control the start and stop of the drive assembly 20 or its operating parameters. For example, when the drive assembly 20 includes a motor and a drive shaft, the first control key 97 can adjust the motor speed, thereby regulating the rotational frequency of the ear canal actuator 30. Thus, providing the user with the first control key 97 makes it convenient for the user to directly operate the first control key 97 to control the drive assembly 20. Furthermore, by locating the first control key 97 on the side of the main body 131 facing away from the clamping arm 132, the user can easily access the first control key 97 after wearing the ear device, thereby improving the user's convenience in operating and controlling the first control key 97.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the clamping arm portion 132 includes a first arm segment 1321 and a second arm segment 1322. The first arm segment 1321 is connected to the transition portion 133. One end of the second arm segment 1322 is rotatably connected to the first arm segment 1321, and the other end is connected to the in-ear portion 140. Specifically, because the second arm segment 1322 can rotate relative to the first arm segment 1321, assuming that when the second arm segment 1322 is in its initial position, the ear canal function member 30 faces the user's left ear, and the ear device is worn on the user's left ear, when the second arm segment 1322 rotates 180 degrees relative to the first arm segment 1321, the ear canal function member 30 is positioned away from the user's left ear, and the ear device can now be worn on the user's right ear. In this way, the ear device can be used for both the user's left and right ears, that is, it can be used for both ears, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the ear device. Of course, in other embodiments, the second arm segment 1322 may be fixed to the first arm segment 1321 , or the second arm segment 1322 and the first arm segment 1321 may be integrally formed.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 and 3In one embodiment, the first arm segment 1321 is provided with a snap-fitting protrusion 132a corresponding to the second arm segment 1322, and the second arm segment 1322 is provided with a slot 132b for receiving the snap-fitting protrusion 132a. The slot 132b extends circumferentially along the rotation axis of the second arm segment 1322, and the corresponding central angle is greater than or equal to one hundred and eighty degrees. The cooperation between the snap-fitting protrusion 132a and the slot 132b not only simplifies the structure, but also enables smooth and stable rotation. Of course, in other embodiments, the first arm segment 1321 may be provided with a rotation hole for inserting the second arm segment 1322, and a threaded through hole connected to the rotation hole. The ear device further includes a screw, one end of which can pass through the threaded through hole and abut against the outer circumferential surface of the second arm segment 1322.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the drive assembly 20 includes a first drive member 21 and a transmission flexible shaft 22, one end of the transmission flexible shaft 22 is drive-connected to the first drive member 21, and the other end is connected to the ear canal effect member 30, and the first drive member 21 is located on the ear hanging bracket 130. In this way, with the support of the transmission flexible shaft 22, the first drive member 21 can be set on the main body 131 (ear hanging bracket 130) to keep the first drive member 21 away from the ear canal effect member 30, thereby reducing the working noise transmitted to the ear canal effect member 30 during the operation of the first drive member 21, and further reducing the user's perception of the working noise of the first drive member 21, so as to improve the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, the first drive member 21 can also be arranged on the transition portion 133 or the clamping arm portion 132.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In order to make the extension length of the ear canal effect member 30 relative to the housing 10 adjustable, in one embodiment, a first cavity (not shown in the accompanying drawings) is provided in the ear hanging bracket 130, and the ear inlet portion 140 is provided with a second cavity 10a and a telescopic opening 10b connected to one end of the second cavity 10a, the other end of the second cavity 10a is connected to the first cavity, the first cavity and the second cavity 10a are used for the flexible transmission shaft 22 to be movably passed through, the ear canal effect member 30 passes through the telescopic opening 10b and is connected to the flexible transmission shaft 22, and the ear device further includes a depth adjustment member 40, the depth adjustment member 40 is used to drive the flexible transmission shaft 22 to perform telescopic movement close to or away from the telescopic opening 10b. That is, the depth adjustment member 40 can drive the extension length of the ear canal effect member 30 on the flexible transmission shaft 22 relative to the housing 10, thereby adjusting the depth of the ear canal effect member 30 extending into the external auditory canal. In this way, the ear device can be adapted to different users and different usage scenarios. When the user replaces the ear canal effect member 30 with a different form, the user can select the appropriate telescopic position of the transmission flexible shaft 22 according to the shape of the ear canal effect member 30, thereby obtaining a better user experience.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the depth adjustment member 40 is configured as a rotating wheel 43 rotatably connected to the ear bracket 130. The rotating wheel 43 is provided with a first meshing tooth portion 431, and the first driving member 21 is provided with a second meshing tooth portion 213 for meshing with the first meshing tooth portion 431. In this way, the meshing transmission mode of the first meshing tooth portion 431 and the second meshing tooth portion 213 can make the transmission smoother and more stable, thereby making the sliding of the first driving member 21 smoother and more stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the depth adjustment member 40 can also be slidably connected to a push slider or push-pull rod of the ear bracket 130, and the push slider or push-pull rod is also connected to the first driving member 21.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the ear bracket 130 has a mounting hole 130b corresponding to the rotating wheel 43, and the outer periphery of the rotating wheel 43 is at least partially exposed through the mounting hole 130b. Specifically, the outer periphery of the rotating wheel 43 is configured to be pushed by the user to generate rotation when turned. This facilitates user operation of the depth adjustment member 40.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In one embodiment, the ear device further includes a blower assembly 50 mounted on the ear hook bracket 130. The ear hook bracket 130 has an air outlet 130c corresponding to the blower assembly 50. The air outlet 130c is positioned toward the user's head and neck, and the blower assembly 50 is configured to blow air outward through the air outlet 130c. Thus, blowing air toward the user's head and / or neck through the blower assembly 50 can achieve a certain blowing stimulation effect, thereby enriching the functionality of the ear device and improving the user experience.

[0056] In one embodiment, the blowing assembly 50 includes a blowing element and a heating element, and the heating element is used to heat the airflow blown by the blowing element. Specifically, the heating element can be set at the air inlet of the blowing element, or in the internal airflow channel of the blowing element, or at the air outlet 130c of the blowing element. In this way, the air blown toward the user by the blowing element is heated by the heating element, that is, a warm air blowing function is provided to the user, which can improve the comfort of the ear device. Of course, in other embodiments, the heating element can be omitted, and only the blowing element can be used to provide the user with airflow at room temperature.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the ear device further includes an auricle massage component 70 disposed within the ear inlet 140 , which is configured to massage and stimulate the user's auricle. Specifically, the auricle massage component 70 can stimulate the auricle in a variety of ways, including but not limited to stroking stimulation, light touch stimulation, microcurrent stimulation, air blowing stimulation, vibration stimulation, and heating stimulation. The specific structure and principles can refer to the technical solutions related to the ear canal action member 30 described above. This allows the user to simultaneously enjoy the stimulation of the external auditory canal by the ear canal action member 30 and the stimulation of the auricle by the auricle massage component 70, allowing the user to relax physically and mentally, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In one embodiment, the ear inlet portion 140 has a first end 141 and a second end 142 relative to each other, the ear canal action member 30 is provided at the first end 141, and the auricle massage component 70 includes a second driving member 71 provided in the ear inlet portion 140, and an auricle action member 72 movably connected to the second end 142, and the auricle action member 72 is used to caress the auricle. Specifically, the auricle action member 72 can be configured as natural fiber or chemical fiber, such as horsetail hair, pig hair or feathers in animal fibers. In this way, the auricle action member 72 can be used to caress and stimulate the auricle, and the auricle massage component 70 has a simple structure, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the auricle massage component 70. Of course, in other embodiments, the material of the auricle action member can also be configured as an elastic material, such as bristles made of silicone material or rubber material.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the ear device further includes a first controller 96 provided on the ear hanging bracket 130, a wireless communication module (not shown in the drawings) electrically connected to the first controller 96, and a remote control (not shown in the drawings), and the remote control is connected to the first controller 96 through the wireless communication module.

In this way, a remote control is provided to the user at the same time, so that the user can choose whether to use the first control key 97 or the remote control according to the usage scenario to control each functional module, thereby improving the convenience of using the ear device.

[0060] In one embodiment, the ear device further includes an audio player 99 electrically connected to the first controller 96, and the audio player 99 is located on the ear-entry portion 140 or the ear-hook bracket 130. Without loss of generality, currently mainstream audio playback methods include air transmission and bone conduction. Air transmission can be further divided into external, over-the-ear, and in-the-ear modes. As can be easily understood, the external transmission mode refers to the audio player 99 being located in an area of ​​the housing 10 away from the ear, with the audio traveling through an open space and a relatively long air transmission path before reaching the eardrum. When the audio player 99 is located in an area of ​​the housing 10 near the ear, the audio player can be located either outside or inside the external auditory canal. The external transmission mode refers to the ear device not extending into the external auditory canal, such as headphones; the in-the-ear mode refers to the ear device having a portion extending into the external auditory canal, such as in-ear headphones. In this embodiment, the audio player 99 can utilize either air transmission or bone conduction. In this way, the music playing function is provided to the user through the audio player 99, so that the user can receive ear canal massage stimulation while listening to music or hypnotic white noise, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] Specifically, in one embodiment, the in-ear portion 140 also includes an in-ear earplug 12 provided at the first end 141. The in-ear earplug 12 is used to be worn at the exit of the external auditory canal. The in-ear earplug 12 is provided with an avoidance hole. The ear canal action member 30 can be passed through the avoidance hole and connected to the transmission flexible shaft 22. The audio player 99 includes a speaker provided in the in-ear portion 140. The speaker is provided near the in-ear earplug 12 and is provided facing the avoidance hole.
